2015 Great American River Day Cleanup and Beautification Project. Mayor Don Walters proudly announces the 2015 Great American River Day Cleanup & Beautification Project.

On Saturday, May 16th from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. join your neighbors and friends to help keep Cuyahoga Falls beautiful and litter-free.

Volunteers will work together to clean up litter, plant flowers and pull invasive plants on public grounds. Litter anywhere in the community can eventually end up in the Cuyahoga River, in local streams, or in storm sewers potentially creating hazardous conditions and pollution. Invasive plants such as garlic mustard affect the quality of habitat for beneficial plant and animal species. Citizens of all ages, businesses and organizations can help preserve and protect the Cuyahoga River, its tributaries and our natural resources by volunteering to clean up and beautify public grounds throughout the community. Local public parks and playgrounds in addition to public lands sections along the Cuyahoga riverbank may be included as cleanup locations for volunteers to consider.

Lunch, cleanup and planting supplies will be provided for volunteers. A special 2015 River Day raffle will take place at Noon for project volunteers. To register by Wednesday, May 13th, please call 330-971-8201 or email mcclearyrm@cityofcf.com Volunteer sign-in location and project details will be provided upon registration. www.cityofcf.com

Wellness & Wealth by ChoiceWe would like to thank the Chamber Board of Directors for continuing again for 2015 the Wellness Benefit provided by Wellness & Wealth by Choice. We also want to thank the Chamber Businesses who have stepped forward and taken advantage of this benefit and made an investment to improve the health of their employees and families. Most of us are very aware, worried and are fully engaged in the Affordable Care Act. Many of us didn’t get to keep our insurance as promised and are experiencing higher premiums, deductibles and co-pays.

Are you sick and tired of being sick and tired? There are many options you can seize to improve your desired level of wellness.

Our goals are:
1) assist and educate chamber members, their families and their employees,
2) raise your awareness on how lifestyle and environment is creating illness,
3) improve the quality of life for you, your family and employees, by creating your own healthy space in a toxic world,
4) reduce your medical costs.
We look forward to meeting with you and explaining the details of the benefit and developing your individual wellness plan. Contact Sue or Bob Gruber at 330-920-1590
